Remember the days when trainer Todd Pletcher couldn’t win the Kentucky Derby? He was 0 for 24, the most attempts without finding the winner’s circle in the history of the race.

Then Super Saver came along in 2010 and gave the Hall of Famer his first taste of success in the Run for the Roses. Seven years later it was Always Dreaming, who helped Pletcher become one of only 17 trainers to win the Derby more than once.

Of course, only six have won three or more, including Bob Baffert and D. Wayne Lukas (four apiece), but Pletcher can join that group this year thanks to a foursome that appears to be mighty fearsome.

When was the last time a trainer had four of the top eight horses just two weeks out from the Derby? The answer is probably never, so far as we can tell.

When the National Thoroughbred Racing Association released its weekly 3-year-old rankings this week, Pletcher-trained colts dominated the Top 10: 2. Magnum Moon, 3. Audible, 7. Vino Rosso, 8. Noble Indy. All four won their final Derby preps.

“It would be hard to imagine that we could have a much better last month, but we’re just very fortunate and thankful and hope they can continue to train well and stay healthy through the Derby,” Pletcher said.

Our final Kentucky Derby rankings heading into the big day May 5:

1. Justify

About the only question left regarding the lightly raced son of Scat Daddy is whether his first race outside of California will be a problem. Some horses just don’t like to ship. They crave familiar surroundings, among other things.

Baffert doesn’t foresee any problems.

“We’ve never put him on a plane, but he came out here on a plane so he’s shipped before,” he said.

2. Magnum Moon

Yes, he was drifting out in the stretch during his easy victory in the Arkansas Derby, but that could be attributed to inexperience. Remember, the Malibu Moon colt has raced only four times and, just like Justify, will be trying to join Apollo (1882) as the only horses to win the Derby without racing at age 2.

“It’s very difficult to do what he’s done since Jan. 13, break his maiden, to now be 4 for 4 and win the Rebel and Arkansas Derby and be a Grade I winner in his fourth start,” Pletcher said. “It’s a real tribute to the horse’s talent.”

3. Audible

Javier Castellano opted to take the ride on the son of Into Mischief over Bolt d’Oro, which was viewed as a negative by some regarding Bolt.

But let’s be clear here — Castellano was probably just showing loyalty to Pletcher, who is going to put him on a lot more winners in the future than Bolt’s trainer, Mick Ruis, will.

Audible won the Florida Derby, which has produced three of the past five Derby winners — Orb (2013), Nyquist (2016) and Always Dreaming (2017).

4. Bolt d’Oro

So Ruis loses the services of Castellano and must “settle” for Victor Espinoza, who is as familiar with Churchill Downs as we are the 210 Freeway. Espinoza has won three Derbies, including two of the past four. Not a bad consolation prize for Ruis.

With so many jumping off the Bolt d’Oro bandwagon following his runner-up effort behind Justify in the Santa Anita Derby, the folks who have remained on board might get a juicy reward come Derby day.

5. Good Magic

I wasn’t as down on the 2017 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile winner as some following his third-place finish in the Fountain of Youth Stakes. The key to me was that he was still running at the end in his first start in four months. He justified my belief in him by winning the Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland.

The Curlin colt’s trainer, 39-year-old Chad Brown, is still looking for his first Derby victory, but it’s probably only a matter of time.

One interesting fact to keep in mind: The past five Derby winners were all unbeaten in their 3-year-old campaigns heading into the race. Of this year’s top contenders, only Justify, Magnum Moon, Audible and Mendelssohn fit the bill.
